- Alan Jackson is retiring from touring after more than three decades in country music.
- He held a farewell concert in Nashville on June 27 with a star-studded list of musical guests.
- The concert will be broadcast on NBC at a later date.
Alan Jackson wrapped up his 37-year country music career on Saturday, June 27, and his “Last Call: One More for the Road–The Finale” concert was an incredible show.
Knowing that fans would be devastated if he just up and left country music, Alan made a decision. "It's been a long road... and it’s taken me places I never imagined," he told PEOPLE in 2025. "But I can’t think of a better place to put on a big show and give the fans a finale than in Nashville and include so many special friends."
The highly anticipated full-length farewell show attracted more than 50,000 Alan Jackson fans to Nissan Stadium in Nashville, where more than a dozen of his country music pals took the stage to pay the ultimate respect to one of the industry’s most notable legends.
Before the 67-year-old country icon took the stage for his final touring set ever, Lainey Wilson, Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Riley Green, and a gang of A-listers took the stage one by one to perform their favorite Alan Jackson classics. Meanwhile, Taylor Swift joined via a prerecorded message for the night. The full tribute set list was as follows.
- Brian Wright—"Dixie Highway"
- Carlisle Wright—"Burnin' the Honky Tonks Down"
- Adam Wright—"So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore"
- Jake Owen—"I Don't Need the Booze"
- Little Big Town—"It Must Be Love"
- Riley Green—"Little Man"
- Lee Ann Womack—"Between the Devil and Me"
- Jon Pardi—"She's Got the Rhythm"
- Miranda Lambert—"Dallas"
- Cody Johnson—"Job Description"
- Luke Bryan—"Love's Got a Hold on You"
- Thomas Rhett—"Small Town Southern Man"
- Eric Church—"Someday"
- Carrie Underwood—"Everything I Love"
- Luke Combs—"Hard Hat and a Hammer"
- Lainey Wilson—"Tall, Tall Trees"
- All Tribute Performers—"Pop a Top"
After the tribute performances concluded, the "Chattahoochee" singer wowed the crowd with a 24-song set of his biggest hits from the past nearly 40 years. As he sang his way from "Gone Country” to "Here in the Real World" to "Little Bitty" to "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere," the crowd roared with applause. At one point, George Strait even joined him onstage to sing their duet, “Designated Driver,” followed by their other hit, “Murder on Music Row.” By the time Alan played “Remember When,” the audience couldn’t help but get choked up. Alan closed out his final career set with "Where I Come From," a poignant choice. On a night when everyone in attendance and at home scrolling on their phones wanted to celebrate one of the greatest country acts of all time, Alan proved ever humble, wrapping on a tune that reminds us all to remember our roots.
The sold-out event goes down in history as one of the largest stadium shows in Nashville, not to mention one of the most epic farewell concerts, bittersweet as it was. Fortunately for fans who weren’t able to attend, the star-studded event is set to air on NBC later this year, with streaming on Peacock.
Alan is currently struggling with the chronic neuropathy condition Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, which causes progressive muscle weakness. "I don't want them to think I'm drunk on stage because I'm having problems with mobility and balance. I have this neuropathy, neurological disease I inherited from my daddy," Alan revealed to Jenna Bush Hager on TODAY, back in 2021. "I've been reluctant to talk about this publicly, but it's been a while, and it's starting to affect my performance on stage a little bit where I don't feel comfortable."
